I do find it funny that I can go to the park and fly my F450 clone with 10 inch props legally as long as it's safe, but my mate technically can't do the same with his tiny hubsan X4 without a 30 meter exclusion zone on take off or landing, purely because his has a camera on it.
Just split up your encrypted files into 4mb chunks, give them names like Britney.aac and say you can't provide a key to these files on your own computer because doing so would be in violation of the DMCA...
Not really trying to be funny here, who really "owns" a file if it is on your hard drive?
"You weren't impressed because you realize all of that over-engineering is what makes your car require so much maintenance."
Hmm. Let me see - drove out of the garage from new, and doesn't need to go back until it's either 2 years old, or it's done 20k miles. Long life service *grin*
Although I do see your point. They replaced the handbrake with a switch thing which is presumably linked to a motor. One more thing to fail and when it does, I better have some wheel chocks handy!
Over-engineered, yes - but doesn't seem to need much maintenance.
... As an audi owner and general geek I wasn't impressed at all with the fairly recent adverts proclaiming the sheer number of patents that were involved in designing my car. See here (not my blog).
Seems like they are really going for this patent thing with this competition, too. I wouldn't be suprised if the winner had to write something about Audi's patents:)
Looks like we won't be getting it until the end of the year - but hopefully that will mean 3G instead of EDGE for those of us in the UK! I don't know if my Treo is going to last that long...
When you sell something to someone on ebay you're allowed to use their contact details only for the purpose of that one transaction - so how do you get the message out to your thousands of previous customers?
I am an ex-eBayer and got caught by this - got accused of spamming by more than one person, ok, fair enough, I didn't read the fine print well enough. Now I earn a real living.
Note before I get flamed - this was a single email sent out to my existing customer base - I was NOT a spammer.
I used to work for Veritas supporting NetBackup and still use the product on a day-to-day basis. Every time I here someone refer to it as Symantec NetBackup I cry a little. Have Symantec had *any* good press recently?
Chances are they will not dual boot, or at least it won't be supported. BUT Virtual PC will run at almost native speed just like VMware on x86 already does. Then having both environments side by side will be possible.
The parent didn't say anything about the card reader being connected to the machine.
I imagine it's just like an RSA style device that takes it's seed from some data stored on you bank card which generates a string that you enter into a login screen for the bank.
I too have contemplated this. Why can't every operation be cached for booting? A boot should be a single load of a memory dump, exactly like resuming from a hard drive.
Macs already do this, to some extent. Check here and look under BootCache.
I remember one Panther pack (10.3.2 perhaps) that broke this on some machines, and boot times went to nearly a minute and a half on my powerbook.
I think it's a great compromise between hibernation and normal booting.
I will have to take a look at gvpe, as I've not seen it before. OpenVPN works and works well for my particular needs though.
I did spend the last couple of days trying to get Openswan / IPsec working with Tiger's built in VPN support. Got it half working, in that it works OK until my Powerbook is behind a firewall doing NAT.
Apparently I need all sorts of weird and wonderful patches and options to support NAT traversal, whereas OpenVPN "Just Works"(tm)
I actually did wonder if it was something to do with having it running off the iPod - as the machine does feel somewhat slower loading apps. But of course Expose won't be hitting disk (I would hope)
That's the driver I'm using. I emailed the authour and he says that he'll be able to release a Tiger version next week when he gets the DVD.
I did try compiling it myself just now, but it failed horribly. I have a feeling it's because the xnu module I used from opendarwin.org is from the wrong branch or something.
I've had Tiger on my 17" powerbook for a few days now - it's actually installed on my iPod so I can dual boot.
One thing I have noticed so far is that Expose seems a lot less fluid than in Panther. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I going mad? The difference is noticable even with only a couple of windows on the desktop.
Other than that it seems nice. My Vodafone 3G card works, and most apps that I have tried. The only thing I can't get working yet is OpenVPN - as the TUN/TAP driver isn't ported yet.
Simbot: I disguised myself as a Simputer so I could rule the Indians.
Bender: But why?
Simbot: Why? Why? I came here from a faraway planet ruled by a chavinistic Manputer that was really a Manbot. Have you any idea how it feels to be a Simbot living in a Manbot's Manputer's world?

I actually tried this when I was a kid, all I got was a smelly lump of goo that didn't do much at all. Couldn't even get it to burn!
:D
Hope my parents aren't reading this!
Wow, greasy action at a distance perhaps?
I think you might be confusing kilocalories with kilogram-calories :)

It's only a cure for cancer, not a new operating system!
and I'd like to listen to music with my fingers in my ears!
Congratulations - you are now officially slashdot's leading toilet expert :)
Unlikely to be a problem, since they both spell and pronounce their product's names differently...

Walked straight into that one, didn't I!
